CIT have put new recycling bins in place around the Campus. These bins are located at Recycle Points around the campus. Please make every effort to use these bins correctly.

The bins are colour coded and are aimed at increasing recovery and also preventing waste generation.

The blue bin is provided for your paper recycling (office paper, newsprint etc.). The red bin is provided for dry recyclables (bottles, cans etc.) and the green bin in the centre is provided for general waste that is not recycled (dirty waste, food wrappers). The table below lists the waste that is accepted in each bin.
